Hello, my name is Pierre Rausch and I am from Luxembourg. I am 32 years old, and I am the owner of Summernightbrand Record Sales Office. I started early with music, but I really got serious in high school and at university. I took some courses in guitar and vocals, but I essentially taught myself a lot of things on my own. This is how I made my first setps into the music business. Soon, I began writing my own songs. I became interested in the upcoming casting shows that started in 2002. I always wanted to compete in one of them. I tried to learn covers from bands like Radiohead or Ben Harper, Muse and Placebo. By 2006, I was ready to get started. Along with some part-time jobs, I made it with street music, essentially in Luxembourg, but also in Germany and the Netherlands. I recorded my first albums with MP3 players and registered them with SACEM Luxembourg. I also had Tunecore as partners on the side. I did the artwork myself. I managed to compete at castings in Germany and Luxembourg. For shows like DSDS, Tvtotal and a Luxembourg format, I got spotted on TV several times. Unfortunately, I messed up, because I was too nervous with stage fright. After this, I decided to open my own business, Summernightbrand Record Sales Office (SRSO), to negotiate music licensing with SACEM Luxembourg and Tunecore. With SRSO, I established internet sites (like my own home page), social network sites, A&R or label sites, and sites that simply offer musicians opportunities to submit their music. This is not the only work that we do at SRSO. As new albums get recorded, my tabs get translated into several languages and some lyrics get passed to poem...
